Indore man reunited with Karachi bride

The couple had originally been married in a temple in Nepal on February 5, 2005 in the presence of their parents.

That not-so-friendly boundaries cannot prevent love from blossoming was proved when a man in Indore and his wife from the Pakistani port city of Karachi renewed their wedding vows after living apart for over a year.

Sandeep Sharma and Daisery Anthony of Karachi tied the nuptial knot again at the historic Red Church in Indore on Tuesday on the occasion of Independence Day.

The couple had originally been married in a temple in Nepal on February 5, 2005 in the presence of their parents. But Daisery's failure to get a visa forced them to live apart, Sandeep's sister Meghna told.

Sandeep, 27, is a software engineer while Daisery, 21, is a teacher in a Karachi school that counts Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf and senior BJP leader LK Advani among its alumni, she said.

According to her, the cross-border romance begun when Sandeep initiated a chat with Daisery on the internet on the issue of 'Ram temple or Babri mosque' in 2003.
